Solved Custom configs

Hi all I have this piece of code:

Code:java

    private File side1File = new File(this.getDataFolder(), this.getConfig().getString("side_1.name")+"_players.yml");
    private FileConfiguration side1Config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(side1File);
 
    private File side2File = new File(this.getDataFolder(), this.getConfig().getString("side_2.name")+"_players.yml");
    private FileConfiguration side2Config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(side2File);
 
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
 
        listt1 = side1Config.getStringList("players");
        listt2 = side2Config.getStringList("players");
 
        try {
            side1File.createNewFile();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
 
        side1Config.addDefault("path", "string");
    }

But when my file is created, IT'S BLANK! help

 

You need to save configs BTW, if you set a config value the file doesn't update until you save it.

 

Code:java

public void save()
{
    try
    {
        side1Config.save(side1File);
        side2Config.save(side2File);
    }
    catch(IOException ex)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

 

Hi! now I have this but config is still blank!

Code:java

 private File side1File = new File(this.getDataFolder(), this.getConfig().getString("side_1.name")+"_players.yml");
private FileConfiguration side1Config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(side1File);
 
private File side2File = new File(this.getDataFolder(), this.getConfig().getString("side_2.name")+"_players.yml");
private FileConfiguration side2Config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(side2File);
 
public void saveFileConfig()
{
try
{
side1Config.save(side1File);
side2Config.save(side2File);
}
catch(IOException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
 
@Override
public void onEnable() {
 
listt1 = side1Config.getStringList("players");
listt2 = side2Config.getStringList("players");
 
try {
side1File.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
 
side1Config.addDefault("path", "string");
this.saveFileConfig();
}

And no errors!

Hey! I also tried one thing.

I typed "path: "in my config, and when I reaload, It gets deleted!

Solved, here is my new onEnable:

Code:java

        side1Config.options().copyDefaults(true);
 
        side1Config.addDefault("path", "string");
        this.saveFileConfig();

Thanks tagged as SOLVED.
